Abstract (en)

Aqueous-based photothermographic materials have improved stability to increase in D<sub>min</sub> during aging by including certain water-soluble or water-dispersible antifoggants that have a pKa of 8 or less. These antifoggants are represented by Structure I:         R<sub>1</sub>-SO<sub>2</sub>-C(R<sub>2</sub>)R<sub>3</sub>-(CO)<sub>m</sub>-(L)<sub>n</sub>-SG     Iwherein R<sub>1</sub> is an aliphatic or cyclic group, R<sub>2</sub> and R<sub>3</sub> are independently hydrogen or bromine as long as at least one of them is bromine, L is an aliphatic divalent linking group, m and n are independently 0 or 1, and SG is a solubilizing group having a pKa of 8 or less.
